A fracture of the tibia and fibula in the left lower leg requires treatment through medication, plaster immobilization, and similar methods. If the fracture site is well-aligned without displacement, conservative management can be actively pursued. This may involve using a brace, splint, or plaster cast. The affected limb should be elevated to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling. Additionally, medications that invigorate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and promote bone healing can be used.
